There are many shops in Singapore where customers still bargain, although prices are clearly shown on the goods. There is nothing out of the ordinary in haggling; some shopkeepers expect you to and will be surprid if you accept their prices immediately. We know that the prices in some stores are a bit higher than tho in Change Alley, but we also realize that to keep a store like
Robinson's is by no means cheap. Besides, in such places we shop in air-condition (空调) comfort. For all the, we pay a little extra.
It is not always true to say that things in Change Alley cost less. I once bought a Czechoslo- vakian glass butter-dish from Robinson's for a little under two dollars. I then went on to Change Alley and just by chance saw an article of the same shape, design and size, in one of the shops. I then asked about its price, and was surprid when the man demanded more than four dollars for it. "How much can you offer" he shouted at me. I offered him exactly the same price I paid for the article and his reply was shockingly rude (粗鲁). I open
ed my bag, showed him my receipt, stared at him and walked out of his shop.
A buyer in England expects to find the price of goods clearly shown, or, to be told exactly what the price is. He knows this is the lowest price that will be accepted. If he thinks the price is beyond what he can afford, he shrugs ( 耸耸) his shoulders and walks away. He does not attempt to bargain with the shopkeeper. Even if he showed annoyance or surpri, he would expect to be to that if the price was unacceptable, he should try elwhere.

Some people argue that the pressure on international sportsmen and sportswomen kills the esnce of sport ---- the pursuit of personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become compet
itive but they still enjoy playing. The individual reprenting his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himlf, he has to think only about winning. He is responsible for entire nation's hopes, dreams and reputation.
A good example is the football World Cup. Football is third world's most important sport. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of international sporting success. Mention Argentina to someone and the chances are that he' 11 think of football. In a n, winning the World Cup put Argentina on the map.
Sports fans and supporters get quite unreasonable about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1966. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their hous, and spent all their money traveling to Argentina, where the finals were played.
So, am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sport Certainly not! Do the Argentinean really believe that becau eleven of their men proved the most skillful at football, their nation is in every way better than all others Not really. But it's nice to know t
hat you won and that in one way at least your country is the best.
